That idea was suggested for the proposed Diana Ross with the London Symphony Orchestra album that has yet to surface. It was originally mooted in 2019 and the plan was to release it to coincide with her 2020 UK tour. That of course failed to materialise as did plans for 2021. The other proposed album that remains unfulfilled is the Duets album, but i do believe they wanted modern performers to duet with Ms Ross rather than classic artists.Quote:

That's all i know at the moment.
Tom Jones released his duets cd Reload and it revitalized his career, although I am really apprehensive about Ms Ross's new material, Bluebrock how is it sounding to you ?? If you can comment of course .
I haven't heard anything more since the 6 or so demo's from a couple of months ago. I wasn't at all impressed by them, but i do concede they were unfinished.Quote:

Tom was still in fine vocal form at that time. Still is for that matter.Quote:

Now Diana Ross and the London Symphony Orchestra especially if it had co-incided with her trip to the UK was certainly a possible #1.
Honestly, I don’t think she cares about quality anymore. Quality = Money, and Ross is sadly a tightwad when it comes to her professional work. That is why I have no interest in the new cd.Quote:

But I would hope she wouldn't do one with a deceased partner. I think the Natalie and Nat duet was touching because they are, after all, father and daughter. But then Tramaine Hawkins did one with Mahalia Jackson, and Tony Bennett did one with Billie Holiday. Sort of gives me the willies.
I find them kind of spooky too!Quote:

From what Bluebrock has revealed of the intended new album, a Diana Ross with the LSO sounds a more worthy project.
